I get a little bit annoyed being this sort of 'alien' in the land that is 'social media culture'.
I'm in this both personally and professionally and one thing I notice is that it is **so isolationist from other mediums**, from the movie theaters, the auditorium, the performing arts like theatre and music concerts. It isolates itself from museums launching exhibitions worldwide.
What people call "culture" and the physical activity that goes on in it is something little acknowledged by "social media culture". **It only takes seriously what it produces** ***for itself***
Perhaps the medium that best integrates with "social media culture" is that of live videogames, which is, in and of itself, also a social network.
You're a minority if your content is somewhat foreign to the nature of the medium.
Did anybody predict something like this?
I'm frustrated by how irrelevant my industry has become because its products are so difficult to convert into 'social media content' on these platforms.

Predict? No. The prediction was that social media would have the opposite effect; bringing people together and collaborate on creating the future (to keep it very short). Sadly it has turned in to a place where groups apply a sort of frontier justice. Not always, but the negative outweigh the positive, for sure.

It’s interesting to think about. I love movie theaters but my local one is dead. In the case of live performance theater, I know many kids who are invested in online fandom culture around broadway shows that they can never afford to go see. Starkid’s shows go viral every release. Critical role is basically live theater with 3hr+ episodes that release every week and is watched by tons of young fans. The audience is there. It’s about reaching the audience.
